The origin of tanabata
Baidu Encyclopedia says: "Chinese Valentine's Day is not only a festival to worship the Seventh Sister, but also a festival of love. It is a comprehensive festival with the folklore of" Cowherd and Weaver Girl "as the carrier, with the theme of blessing, begging for luck and love, and women as the main body. The "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" on Tanabata originated from people's worship of natural astronomical phenomena. In ancient times, people corresponded the planetarium and geographical areas. This correspondence was called "dividing the stars" in astronomy and "dividing the fields" in geography. According to legend, on the seventh day of July every year, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl will meet at the Magpie Bridge in the sky. Chinese Valentine's Day began in ancient times, spread in the Western Han Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty. In ancient times, Chinese Valentine's Day was an exclusive festival for pretty girls. Among the numerous folk customs of Tanabata, some have gradually disappeared, but a considerable part has been continued by people.
